Sri Aurobindo: The Grand Synthesis
Sri Aurobindo: The Grand Synthesis
On November 3rd, Dr. Ananda Reddy released his new book Sri Aurobindo: The Grand Synthesis at a function at Auroville’s Unity Pavilion in the presence of the Vice Chancellor of the Pondicherry University Prof. Gurmeet Singh and the Secretary of the Auroville Foundation Dr. Jayanti Ravi. The book is dedicated to Sri Aurobindo on the occasion of his 150th birth anniversary.
The book is divided into two parts. In part one, Ananda highlights the turning points in Sri Aurobindo’s life and explains why he considers Sri Aurobindo to be the guiding spirit of humanity. In the chapter Sri Aurobindo: The Future, he comments on each of the five dreams of Sri Aurobindo, given as a message for the 15th of August 1947 on the occasion of India’s independence. Read more
Sri Aurobindo’s Humour by Nirodbaran
Sri Aurobindo’s Humour
This book represents a new and, to the general public, quite an unfamiliar aspect of Sri Aurobindo — his humour. There is a common belief that yogis and saints are grave and reserved by nature. They have no sense of humour. Sri Ramakrishna was probably the first among them who is known to have shattered this false notion. Sri Aurobindo was revered and accepted as a great yogi, philosopher and poet, but was considered to be dry and dreary. His sublime philosophical writings dating from the Arya-period were perhaps responsible for this popular misconception. During his political life too he was branded as ’the man who never smiles’. Even to his disciples who saw him only four times a year, he appeared grave and austere, yet with a quiet compassion which made him so lovable as a Guru.
When I wrote to him complaining that his ”Himalayan austerity and grandeur take my breath away, making my heart palpitate!” he replied: ”O rubbish! I am austere and grand, grim and stern! every blasted thing I never was! I groan in an un-Aurobindian despair when I hear such things. What has happened to the common sense of all of you people ? In order to reach the Overmind it is not at all necessary to take leave of this simple but useful quality. Common sense by the way is not logic (which is the least common sense-like thing in the world), it is simply looking at things as they are without inflation or deflation-—not imagining wild imaginations—or for that matter, despairing ’I know not why’ despairs.”

O Soul, My Soul! by Indra Sen
O Soul, My Soul!
3 essays written by Dr. Indra Sen:
O Soul, My Soul! – An essay on the goals of education as The Mother and Sri Aurobindo defined them. Dr Indra Sen also reflects on the Ashram School students answers to the question ‘What does your soul look like?’.
Finding The Soul – Finding the soul is all the issue of life. One must be first what one really is. One must get right oneself first.
The Yogic Approach To Life – The yogic approach to life beginning as a little deeper poise of consciousness can, if pursued long enough, lead to such a marvellous realisation — a realisation of a Conscious Soul in a Conscious Universe, living as a master and a king, over the lesser manifestations of matter, life and mind.

Twelve Years with Sri Aurobindo by Nirodbaran
Twelve Years with Sri Aurobindo
Twelve Years with Sri Aurobindo by Nirodbaran is an account of the period of his close personal contact with Sri Aurobindo, the time when he served as Sri Aurobindo’s personal attendant and literary secretary from 1938 to 1950.
Readers of Sri Aurobindo might wonder about the Master’s external personality. The curiosity is perennial in the mind of the seeker; in the Gita, Arjuna cannot refrain from asking Sri Krishna, “How does the sage of settled understanding speak, how sit, how walk?” Equality has always been held as the hallmark of the liberated soul and while signs of equality are subjective, sensitive souls cannot help perceiving the spiritual atmosphere of evolved beings. The Person in them is larger than the personality, and this inner largeness overflows into and suffuses their external nature as well.

伊莎書
伊莎書
天竺古稱十《奧義書》者，首《伊莎》。至今集百零八或百二十《奧義書》者，亦首《伊莎》。『伊莎』者，精神也。取頌之初二字名書，與中國古詩之例合。全書寥寥十八頌。室利·阿羅頻多（一八七二——一九五〇）疏釋，亦止此簡約一卷，而韋檀多學之菁華皆攝。有此一卷，即是書古今餘家注疏皆不可問。梵文簡古，非雅言不足以達神㫖。疏釋出義沈博，譯文稍澀，尚不至於晦；編次微與原本不同，必要處亦略加補註按語。竊意讀是書者，數行卽宜掩卷深思，或三復乃有當於心，確然知其理之不可易也。是聖言量，曠世一遇，為序為跋，皆所毋庸，謹識數語於耑。（譯者）

Companion to ‘The Secret of the Veda’
Volume I
The Companion to The Secret of the Veda is meant as an aid to the systematic study of The Secret of the Veda for those interested in Sri Aurobindo’s Psychological interpretation of the Veda. It is a word to word matching of original Sanskrit Riks with Sri Aurobindo’s English translation in The Secret of the Veda (Volume I). The compiler has provided the Original Sanskrit Verses (Riks) from the Rig-veda, Padpātha in which all euphonic combinations (sandhi) are resolved into the original and separate words and even the components of compound words (samās) indicated; and matched each Sanskrit word in the Verse with the corresponding English word in the Translation.

社會進化論
社會進化論
《社會發展的心理學》，室利·阿羅頻多，Sri Aurobindo撰，原為阿黎耶哲學雜誌中之論文，始於一九一六年八月，終於一九一八年七月。單行本一九五〇年紐約出版，改名《人類循環論》，The Human Cycle，凡二十四章，三百頁，附索引十二頁。二題名在華文皆頗生疏，以書之內容，乃論社會進化之事，故逕題曰《社會進化論》。
論撰於世界局勢之成敗利鈍多所豫見，然其時軸心國家及蘇俄尚未蹶起，故讀者宜約略回溯該時代思潮及世界事勢，然後於書中之理可更瞭然。第二次世界大戰結束及印度獨立，猶撰者所及見，凡諸後來變化與其學理相應者，皆經略加註明，見於原書每頁之末，譯出則附於每章之次。其中事義有非通俗所知者，更由譯者補註數事。
譯文脫稿于一九五四年，飄搖風雨，又值法屬海圻多事之秋，蓋庋置六年然後出版，殊非旦夕造次者。書原為神聖母親而譯，徇知感德，未嘗不覃思盡慮為之；倘竟有動於天下後世耶，必同此一慈光藹徹，景從神會，可以忘言。（譯者）
